A note on logistics and organization:

Each session will be begin with the delivery of papers, followed by a discussion period. In cases where two papers are to be presented, each will be allocated 15-20 minutes; the panel moderator will ask each presenter to start with a short biography (name, institutional affiliation, research interests), and will also act as a timekeeper. As the discussion period starts, the moderator will ask all participants to provide a short biography, and will also ask that participants state their name every time a new comment is brought forward, so voices can be identified.
